The series 1044 of the ÖBB is an electric universal locomotive , which is suitable for the heavy express train as well as freight train service in the flat country as well as on mountain routes. At the time it was put into service, it was the most powerful four-axle electric locomotive in the world and the ÖBB's showpiece until the Taurus was acquired. The locomotives were converted to the 1144 with push-pull control .
history
Procurement was preceded by positive experiences with the 1043 thyristor locomotive . First the two prototypes 1044.01 and 1044.02 were built, of which the former had an eight-bridge circuit and the latter a four-bridge circuit. The series vehicles followed the construction principle of 1044.02, whereby a simpler winding structure was chosen for the traction motors. From 1978 the series locomotives (from No. 1044.03) were delivered and put into service.
In 1978 wheel tire breakages occurred. In the winters of 1979/80 and 1980/81, the locomotives had to struggle with serious problems with air intake and moisture penetration. All of these shortcomings required design changes that ultimately proved successful. A total of 126 locomotives (1044.01 to 1044.126) had been delivered by 1987.
To prevent flying snow from being sucked into the locomotive in winter, new, higher air intake grilles in various designs were installed from the 1044.74 onwards.
From 1989 to 1995 another 91 locomotives were delivered (1044.200 to 1044.290), which differed from the earlier series by a modified design of the bogies, improved sound insulation and a modified translation.
While the 1044.02 served as a spare parts donor, the prototype locomotive 1044.01 was converted into a high-speed test locomotive in 1987 and was given the number 1044.501; in tests it reached a speed of 241.25 km / h. The spring drives were replaced by AEG Geaflex elements. The maximum speed was set at 220 km / h. In 1996 it was shut down due to drive damage and later put back on normal bogies. In 2002 it was taken out of service and can now be viewed in the Strasshof Railway Museum . The 1044.40 was retained as a “modern nostalgic locomotive” (but still in scheduled service) largely in its original state in blood orange and with the old ÖBB logo (“ Pflatsch ”), but in February 2010 it was rebuilt and redrawn as 1144.40.
Between 2002 and 2005, locomotives of the 1044.2 series were equipped with compatible multiple and push-pull train controls and, as part of this adaptation, were redesigned as the 1144 series. As of August 2006, 119 locomotives of the 1044.0 and 1044.1 series and 91 locomotives of the 1144 series were in the stand of the ÖBB.
From April 2009, the first series delivered (1044.0 and 1044.1) was converted to the 1144 series. In addition to the installation of the remote control, the converted locomotives received a GSM-R radio system, PZB 90 and new LED headlights. After the problems with the remote control (push-pull train control) have been resolved, the 1144.0 / .1 have largely taken over the services of the 1142 series . The renovation was completed in 2013.
The locomotives can be found all over Austria and rarely in parts of southern Germany. Individual locomotives are rented to RCC-Germany and in their current area of operation even come to Bremerhaven in northern Germany. Before the Taurus was procured, all express trains to Munich were hauled by the 1044 series.
Since spring 2018, the oldest locomotives of the 1144.0 series (commissioning year 1978) have been parked when they reach the kilometer limit at which a partial repair would be due and used as spare parts donors. As of June 2018, the first 1144 005 is parked in Wels for this reason.
technical features
The locomotives 1144.200 to 219 are equipped with radio remote control. They are suitable for pushing operations without a UIC cable.
